I must say, my favorite part about every Master Sword Scene is that Link instinctively raises the blade skyward. Just like Fi instructed him at the beginning of Skyward Sword.
seriously, its like the one thing in botw that musically aligns EXACTLY with all of the other games. botw has a generally very lonely atmosphere and all of the musical connections are just motifs and subtle nods, but when you pull that sword you KNOW that youre playing a zelda game. its like botw link's one solid, unbreakable connection to all of the other distant and forgotten links
I just realized, in BOTW, pulling the Master Sword out isn't just a story element, it's an actual test of courage for the player. As you hold down the A button, you watch your health get drained, your first instinct is to let go of the button. You don't just get it for free in a cutscene, you have to EARN it. You have to show your commitment and courage in the face of danger, and hold that button down to the last sliver of the last heart to prove you deserve the sword. That's what we call fucking good game design, kids.
The TP one is very different. There you NEED the mastersword to become human again. It therefore feels more like an obstacle course than a test of some kind since there is the feeling that failure is simply not an option. You are going to succeed and you feel no fear for the tests therefore.
I love how in Wind Waker the emphasis is put on the re-colouration of the castle and the statues lowering their swords, and then it's like the composer realises he hasn't done the iconic Master Sword jingle yet and speedruns through it :P
how is that disappointing? the enemies are tough and the shield and swords breaking makes it harder so, the requirement for 13 hearts isn't disappointing and it's worth the reward
I think Breath of the Wild had the best scene. The music's tempo was perfect, and the feeling of seeing Link hold it felt so triumphant when you consider what Link has been through to get it back.
Link to the Past-Hyrule Warriors: "Hey look! The Master Sword! *yoinks it from pedestal with no problem* Breath of the Wild: "Hey look! The Master Sword! *tries to pull it out* "OH JEEZ WHY IS IT TRYING TO KILL ME?!"
Simple... The Link in BotW is weaker due to his getting his butt handed to him a century prior by Ganon, not to mention he's been asleep for that century and lost most of his power and his memories. The sword is testing his resolve, not trying to kill him.
Ya know, the master sword in BotW is the only version to test the player. You have to EARN it, not get it because the story forces you to. It's noticable gimped in the reliability department, but that's for the sake of balancing. It's a weapon for killing true evil, not fucking with cuckoos.
Pikapower your comment is s year old but you did have to pass a few small tests to get it in TP. You’ve had to “earn” it in every game just about through the story, most have entire acts of he story devoted to link getting it.
Don't forget that the first Zelda did the exact same thing as BotW: Hidden in a cave, it's right in front of you, but you can only pick it up once you have at least 8 hearts. "Master using it, and you can have it."
The cutscene in BoTW is really sweet. Link got his sword back after so long 😊 And you can just tell by his expressions and body language that he feels like he's got a part of himself back. I wonder if he can sense the being within it...
@@dhans9662 Nintendo NEEDS to make another Zelda with TP's art style. BoTW was a beautiful game, and TotK also looks great so far, but it would be so incredible to see Hyrule look like the real world with real looking people.
the story was fine and the items were cool, it's diverse and has variety and with the random effects it can have with the shield and sword breaking thing though, it's not really realistic nor too much of a fun thing but it gives a bit more difficulty to an already difficult game which i am fine with
I just really love the time mechanic, then again I love Wind Waker and Twilight Princesses art style so maybe I do love graphics over game play, however if I'm a graphics over game play person why am I not playing call of duty
Wait, people really hated the remixes in Hyrule Warriors? I love the original music, trust me. But I found the remixes to be a nice addition. But I guess that's because I'm a Rock and Metal person.
Ok..this has seriously been bugging me for a while...has anyone else ever wondered how the scabbard just kinda magically changed, like it wasnt just lying there in the corner of the map, Link just happened to get the right scabbard for the right sword...or am I just an idiot lol
Anyone else wonder what exactly happens to Link's old sword? It just magically disappears (and before anyone says it I mean before Breath Of The Wild. Yes I'm aware of the MANY weapons to chose from in that game).
Twilight Princess was my favorite version, although all gave me chills. The transformation from Wolf back to Man, the master sword tune, the fog clearing, then even Link’s song, amazing.
Twilight Princess' will always be my favorite. The atmosphere, the fact that it makes you human again, just so cool at the time. Windwaker is just about as good in my opinion though, I mean you literally resurrect an entire temple when you pull it out.
Here's what I think how each cutscene presents the Master Sword based on how the sword works in each game and based its story in each game and its appearance on how Nintendo sees it. A Link to the Past - Its discovery Ocarina of Time - Its legacy and purpose (a.k.a. the game where it became iconic to the series) Wind Waker - Its restoration and death Twilight Princess - Its need in times of darkness Skyward Sword - Its origin story A Link Between Worlds - Its nostalgia? (Don't know, haven't played this game, don't know what its story is.) Hyrule Warriors - Its power and flaw (it has a few flaws in the game that are apparent to gameplay and story, no spoilers though. Figure it out on your own time.) Breath of the Wild - Its worth
I love the Hero of Wind's little smile at 1:04 after testing out the sword. It make me a little worried that he might not be worthy. BotW link is probably the second least serious as he does that little extra swish before sheathing it.
It's like getting an old favorite toy back after many years of not seeing it, holding it. Anything. He had the Master Sword already a hundred years prior, so of course he's gonna be like that. The swing, the weight of it and how it fits in his hands...it feels right, familiar. Nostalgic even. I'm honestly surprised more than one memory didn't play out as he pulled the sword. Fi hiding in there, showing him the memory of what transpired there.
Does anyone tear up even a little every time this scene appears in a new Zelda? Something about the idea of seeing this legacy carrying on over time just hits me right here, for some reason
Going to leave like a "spoiler tag" for anybody that, even though it's been a month after release, doesn't want to be spoiled on in-game elements (contrary to if you read *other* comments) like the Master Sword because I've got some input on Breath of the Wild's Master Sword and _why_ it is what it currently is in the game. So yeah, the Master Sword "breaks" in the game. It has a base power/strength of 30, but will double to 60 in the presence of Ganon's Malice (i.e. pools of Malice, Guardians, inside Divine Beasts). I like to call it the "evil detector," or "Link's hero senses." But unfortunately the sword _will_ "break" (it "loses power") after some use. It seems like it has better durability when it's powered up in the presence of Malice, but even then it can still break at some point so it's best not to use it unless it's really necessary. It takes 10 minutes in real, *unpaused* time for it to recharge back to it's full durability. But why does it *break*?? Well, you'd have to understand the whole premise of this game during the development process. Nintendo really wanted to change the formula up to making one *GIANT* world instead of places that were basically giant rooms that would fade to white/black every time you entered a new area and the game needed to load in all the assets. They also pushed for this survival element where Link needed to forage to survive, getting/cooking food for hearts, materials and spoils for rupees, and weapons for self-defense. So let's focus on the weapons. All weapons have durability. Fully durability in the game is signified with a little gold sparkle in the upper right-hand corner of their picture in the menus. No sparkle means it's been used to strike something _at least_ once. Red and flashing means it's badly damaged. And when a weapon breaks, it's gone. But for the Master Sword, it's just a slot with a zero-power sword. In case you don't know, pulling the Master Sword makes a new slot for itself among your melee weapons. So the reason why the Master Sword "breaks" is most likely due to a universal algorithm used for all weapons, shields, and bows for when their individual values for durability reaches zero, the item breaks. But the Master Sword has a special case where it doesn't disappear when it breaks and instead is just pretty much a useless placeholder until the sword is of use again. The developers did not want to make the Master Sword unbreakable because it would undermine the utility of the other melee items found in the game; even though 30 power isn't the best, it would be a decent one-handed weapon to use if it had infinite durability and thus would undermine most other one-handed weapons. A personal theory of mine is that they wanted to implement the Master Sword to enter a still-usable, but very weak in power, state rather than have it break; the Master Sword would drop to a power within the single digits while it waited to recharge. But then the problem with this would be that the "universal algorithm" for weapon durability would conflict with this idea, i.e. the game could think the "weak Master Sword" is a brand new sword with it's own durability and thus it could break or get stuck in a loop of needing to repair should the player manage to abuse the weak Master Sword. It would have basically been too complicated to make a never-breaking Master Sword because one route would potentially undermine other melee weapons and the other route would conflict with the game's established logic. But how does the Master Sword "breaking" work in the game overall? It at least teaches the player to use everything at their disposal. It is also used to break the ever-long grip of better weapons undermining the use of other items, something that has plagued the Zelda series since day one (i.e. nobody uses the slingshot after they get the bow). Also it symbolizes the possibility of Link relying on the Master Sword too much in the past which eventually lead to his near-demise during the great Calamity. I haven't finished the game so of course I still have questions like "How did Link even get the Master Sword in the first place? Did he not undergo any trials or tribulations to earn the right to wield it? It can't be just because of fate or because of his apparent skill with the sword."
They would have done better to require players to get to the start of the second half of the game and then provide an unbreakable weapon. Same with the Hylian Shield, an unbreakable shield acquired somewhere after 2/3 of the game. There are plenty of other weapons and shields which are stronger or have better special effects. I felt really silly walking around with the Master Sword but wielding a Dragonbone Boko Spear.
Temporary Account i know when you signal a comment it disappears from your screen, so I guess that’s what happened Sorry for accusing you without evidence
The title is "Evolution of Master Sword Cutscenes in *Zelda Games* (1986-2017)" Emphasis on *Zelda Games*. Hyrule Warriors isn't canon, but it's still a *Zelda Game*. Smash Bros. isn't one.
You forgot Oracle of Seasons linked game, when the Master Sword comes to your aid being found in a Lost Woods of another country. It's simple, but still counts.
A Link to the Past (SNES) and Twilight Princess versions top the others so far for me. I love the music and the wind coming from the sword in Twilight Princess giving it a more epic feel and I love the delay, the Pendants changing colors and the sounds in the SNES version of A Link to the Past. Those two are tied in 1st while Breath of the Wild would be 3rd. I do love seeing how the Sword tests you by draining your life to a certain amount.
My favourite was the Twilight Princess one. The wind washing away the clouds like a shockwave. And I preferred the Twilight Princess Link. He looked even more adult and bulky and handsome in that one. I couldn't bear to see the one from Skyward Sword, he was looking like fourteen or such, too young. The one from Breath of the Wild was a bit thin and teenage-looking again when half nude (even if the villagers reactions were funny and priceless). Adult Link from the remake of Ocarina of Time on 3DS came close to the handsome adult I expected, but yeah... I agree on one point though, Link is DEFINITELY a handsome guy. They created a hottie for a Hero especially with each gaming evolution. Breath of the Wild was a masterpiece. The graphics were just endlessly breathtaking me.
P.s making ganondorf a black red head is a bit racist and making link one direction lookalike wannabe is a bit of a bad brainwashing effect on this generation
The master sword was in the first legend of Zelda but it was called some thing different and you needed 13 hearts to get it and that's were that came from in breath of the wild
seeing the evolution of attaining the master sword throughout time just makes me cry. good god, we've all come so far. this is it, folks. we did it. we can go home now. this is too beautiful.
The only non-Canon cutscene just so happened to be the best one. Don't get me wrong, I consider Breath of the Wild to be the best, and Twilight Princess is my favorite, but that Hyrule Warriors cutscene...
Lilkxdude4101 Way more than that because near the beginning of BOTW it even says that 10,000 years ago another hero (probably named Link used the master sword to seal Ganon away with the help of the princess of Hyrule (probably names Zelda). So I wouldn't be surprised if the Master Sword was actually around 100,000 years old or even more for that matter.
Everyone wonders why the blade hurts or even kills those who are too weak to hold it but remember that each link who has drawn it is already a hero and is protected by the key items of power that he has claimed beforehand. Edit: it does make me wonder what happened to the mark of the triforce to this link when he died. Perhaps it lies dormant or it was simply so that we could get the proper experience
linck7up it feels extra good to be getting the master sword in breath since your faking grinding shrines to get the thing, and it is holy satisfying when you do get it
i absolutely love how, in botw, nearly every musical callback is just a subtle nod to the older games, and the entire game feels kinda lonely as you traverse a broken hyrule. that is, until you pull the master sword, and link is instantly "linked" directly back to all of his predecessors, holding the same exact sword while the exact same melody plays. it feels like the one moment in the game where all of the forgotten time and heroes of the past are brought back to one moment, and in that moment link truly becomes a hero. to me it just feels like the botw version of this cutscene has so much more thematic significance than nearly any of the others, and its really an incredible moment. also, i just noticed that the master sword theme is a slowed down version of the jingle that plays when you get an important item, just given a LOT more emphasis since its such an important item to the story
it isn't useless outside boss battles EDIT: it's Very useful both inside and outside boss battles, because when you are near guardians or things controlled by malice (weird black red stuff) , it glows and gains 30 more damage also, it doesn't break, if it did, you wouldn't have it anymore would you? it loses power then you would have to wait 10 minutes
It can still lose power while powered up (when it starts to glow). It happened to me while I was in Hyrule Castle which keeps the Master Sword powered up at all times while Link is within the area.
Cool down? So what? It takes 10 minutes, by the time it finish cooldown I already killed the boss with lynel bow and bomb arrows with royal guards weapons.
If you got a sword like that, wouldn't you want to hold it up in the air? I would! It's a magic blade that can pierce evil, I would feel pretty powerful and want to hold it up in the air like that.
In Hamtaro Ham-Ham Heartbreak, there's a reference to the Master Sword where Hamtaro and Bijou collect three marbles to put into the pedestal, then pull the sword out. (Even though it's called "The Legendary Spoon")
I love how the great deku tree mentions Fi when telling Link to respect the sword. Which brings up the question- is Fi conscious in the sword? Can she see the world around her as she waits in silence trapped in the blade? Knowing the answers and knowing she can help the hero but never having the ability to? Or is it the more disturbing possibility, that every one of the reborn spirits of the hero has had to wield the blade of ages... that carries a dead guardian? Has the weight of the master sword only increased, now that it holds the corpse of the goddess' agent?
I don't think you played botw so lemme just tell you, yes fi is active (at least in this game) because her sound effect is in one of the cutscenes (either after trial of the sword or links defeat I can't remember)
For special matters I have to say that the master sword in the Legend of Zelda franchise is the most popular, iconic, recurring, strongest and most powerful weapon which is broken.
A link to the past is a good one. The way they make multiple fakes and how you have to navigate a maze just to find the real one . The wind waker one is good as well and I love how time starts to flow again once link pulls out the sword from the long lost castle/ yenole of hyrulr as ots partly buried beneath the oceans deep waves . Though to be honest they are all amazing scenes and my favorite part of the franchise is when link gets to pull out the master sword.
Master Sword's function: ALTTP= Fire beam while full health OOT= Transform Link into Adult TWW= Unlock Ganon's monsters TP= Allow Link to transform between Human and Wolf freely SS= Increase Skyward Strike range and reduce its charge time ALBW= Fire beam while full health Hyrule= ???(Never play it) BOTW= Fire Skyward Strike while full health, Increase damage and gain infinite energy against Demise's force

OH MY GOD I NEVER MADE THAT CONNECTION *mind blown*
I cried
If you think about it, OOT link never did that
Nightfall I mean to be fair he was probably either distracted by the lights around him or he was already being sealed away for 7 years
@@NiladonGrey your probably right

Fwendly Mushwoom fucking spot on
👌
Yeah and you have to complete a ton of shrines to get all those 13 hearts and survive pulling out the Master Sword
The TP one is very different. There you NEED the mastersword to become human again. It therefore feels more like an obstacle course than a test of some kind since there is the feeling that failure is simply not an option. You are going to succeed and you feel no fear for the tests therefore.
and what's funnier is that the master sword is not a requirement for beating breath of the wild, just an optional weapon.
I love how in Wind Waker the emphasis is put on the re-colouration of the castle and the statues lowering their swords, and then it's like the composer realises he hasn't done the iconic Master Sword jingle yet and speedruns through it :P

Because the jingle is supposed to happen when Link is ready to raise the Sword skywards, so it makes sense to happen when he does so.
@@Dexuz but hes like DUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUN DUUUN DUUN DUUN DUUN!
it's so satisfying on twilight princess, because it took forever to beat that stupid puzzle game, lol
neon flashsparkotron and in all other games you need to do something to gather it but in botw you only need 13 hearts. so disappointed
how is that disappointing? the enemies are tough and the shield and swords breaking makes it harder
so, the requirement for 13 hearts isn't disappointing and it's worth the reward
fi9e not really given the open world design the heart mechanic works well and its so awesome when you just stumble upon it!
fi9e But you don't even know if you need 13 hearts hearts if you're playing blind. All you're supposed to know is that you need to be strong enough.
fi9e Oh and the game merely giving it to you after an easy puzzle wasn't disappointing?
I think Breath of the Wild had the best scene. The music's tempo was perfect, and the feeling of seeing Link hold it felt so triumphant when you consider what Link has been through to get it back.
Especially since it's the first time you arent sure you will get it, if you have anything below 13 hearts, you'll die
Twilight Princess is my favorite Master Sword cutscene. I don't know why.
Dominic Anderson because its one if the best zelda games and the master sword lookes dope to me!
fi9e the song that they put on twilight princess is the reason why it's my fav
Dominic Anderson ocarina is my favorite uwu

George Cowsert Well all tue other ones had you collect shit for the story to prove yourself. Besides twilight princess, strangely.

DrakEon 108 personally Skyward Sword is my favorite I hope it gets an HD remaster on the switch
DrakEon 108 compare woth botw it is! for me botw isnt a zelda game. no cool items, dungeons, story and its annoying that weapons and shields breaks.
the story was fine and the items were cool, it's diverse and has variety and with the random effects it can have
with the shield and sword breaking thing though, it's not really realistic nor too much of a fun thing but it gives a bit more difficulty to an already difficult game which i am fine with
fi9e Nintendo didn't want Breath of the wild to be like any other Zelda game so?
its so satisfying to see the power return so quickly in the skyward sword version
If it's because of how quickly the ugly graphics go away then yes, it is indeed very satisfying
Chicken Nuggetmaster360 oh great a graphics over gameplay warrior
Not true at all, I just hate Skyward Sword, in fact I love game play I'd say my favorite in game play is majoras mask

You know the song is important when Hyrule Warriors didn't ruin it with the rock music remix.
I'm ngl I wouldn't have minded it if it was slightly remixed with a guitar
Wait, people really hated the remixes in Hyrule Warriors? I love the original music, trust me. But I found the remixes to be a nice addition. But I guess that's because I'm a Rock and Metal person.

there's no explanation, let's just say it's a magical scabbard that comes out of nowhere
Branden P it happens with every sword so no you're sane
Branden P A better question is how the heck he puts the sword away in some of the games. It's so long that there's no way he could sheath it.

Twilight Princess was my favorite version, although all gave me chills. The transformation from Wolf back to Man, the master sword tune, the fog clearing, then even Link’s song, amazing.
I love how they stay true to the music throughout all these years.
Twilight Princess' will always be my favorite. The atmosphere, the fact that it makes you human again, just so cool at the time. Windwaker is just about as good in my opinion though, I mean you literally resurrect an entire temple when you pull it out.
I like how Toon Link is like "Stop blinding me!"

OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG
SHIIIT JUUST GOOOT REEAAAL
Games4Games may god worship you
Mine would be
woa BIG sword hehe
Here's what I think how each cutscene presents the Master Sword based on how the sword works in each game and based its story in each game and its appearance on how Nintendo sees it.
A Link to the Past - Its discovery
Ocarina of Time - Its legacy and purpose (a.k.a. the game where it became iconic to the series)
Wind Waker - Its restoration and death
Twilight Princess - Its need in times of darkness
Skyward Sword - Its origin story
A Link Between Worlds - Its nostalgia? (Don't know, haven't played this game, don't know what its story is.)
Hyrule Warriors - Its power and flaw (it has a few flaws in the game that are apparent to gameplay and story, no spoilers though. Figure it out on your own time.)
Breath of the Wild - Its worth
I think Hyrule Warriors' description also applies to Wind Waker. It literally would've been better off if you didn't touch the sword.
We didn't get the master sword till 1991 and the video says 1986-2017
Rianne Gent because it isn’t the master sword and it’s the cutscenes
I like how this video just CUTS to the chase with the cutscenes
I love the Hero of Wind's little smile at 1:04 after testing out the sword. It make me a little worried that he might not be worthy.
BotW link is probably the second least serious as he does that little extra swish before sheathing it.
angeldude101 botw link in general is a loveable asshole
It's like getting an old favorite toy back after many years of not seeing it, holding it. Anything. He had the Master Sword already a hundred years prior, so of course he's gonna be like that. The swing, the weight of it and how it fits in his hands...it feels right, familiar. Nostalgic even. I'm honestly surprised more than one memory didn't play out as he pulled the sword.
Fi hiding in there, showing him the memory of what transpired there.
Botw Looks like he just got a missing piece of his hope back
I mean the sword has always been an extension of him the guy pulled it at like 13 or something

._. Wait what???
First Zelda game, next year is legend of zeldas 35th anniversary
@@wherearemydamfrenchfries8013 But this is the master sword video and the master sword isn't in the first Zelda
I love that jingle ot plays everytime you get it and how link always raises it skywards. I hope that never stops.
These cutscenes give me chills every time
Does anyone tear up even a little every time this scene appears in a new Zelda? Something about the idea of seeing this legacy carrying on over time just hits me right here, for some reason
it must've been such a good feeling in skyward sword when the sword got it's full power
Twilight Princess seems the most epic with that pipe organ, perfectly matches with the aesthetic of the game and that moment. Gives me chills.
Going to leave like a "spoiler tag" for anybody that, even though it's been a month after release, doesn't want to be spoiled on in-game elements (contrary to if you read *other* comments) like the Master Sword because I've got some input on Breath of the Wild's Master Sword and _why_ it is what it currently is in the game.
So yeah, the Master Sword "breaks" in the game. It has a base power/strength of 30, but will double to 60 in the presence of Ganon's Malice (i.e. pools of Malice, Guardians, inside Divine Beasts). I like to call it the "evil detector," or "Link's hero senses." But unfortunately the sword _will_ "break" (it "loses power") after some use. It seems like it has better durability when it's powered up in the presence of Malice, but even then it can still break at some point so it's best not to use it unless it's really necessary. It takes 10 minutes in real, *unpaused* time for it to recharge back to it's full durability. But why does it *break*??
Well, you'd have to understand the whole premise of this game during the development process. Nintendo really wanted to change the formula up to making one *GIANT* world instead of places that were basically giant rooms that would fade to white/black every time you entered a new area and the game needed to load in all the assets. They also pushed for this survival element where Link needed to forage to survive, getting/cooking food for hearts, materials and spoils for rupees, and weapons for self-defense. So let's focus on the weapons.
All weapons have durability. Fully durability in the game is signified with a little gold sparkle in the upper right-hand corner of their picture in the menus. No sparkle means it's been used to strike something _at least_ once. Red and flashing means it's badly damaged. And when a weapon breaks, it's gone. But for the Master Sword, it's just a slot with a zero-power sword. In case you don't know, pulling the Master Sword makes a new slot for itself among your melee weapons.
So the reason why the Master Sword "breaks" is most likely due to a universal algorithm used for all weapons, shields, and bows for when their individual values for durability reaches zero, the item breaks. But the Master Sword has a special case where it doesn't disappear when it breaks and instead is just pretty much a useless placeholder until the sword is of use again. The developers did not want to make the Master Sword unbreakable because it would undermine the utility of the other melee items found in the game; even though 30 power isn't the best, it would be a decent one-handed weapon to use if it had infinite durability and thus would undermine most other one-handed weapons.
A personal theory of mine is that they wanted to implement the Master Sword to enter a still-usable, but very weak in power, state rather than have it break; the Master Sword would drop to a power within the single digits while it waited to recharge. But then the problem with this would be that the "universal algorithm" for weapon durability would conflict with this idea, i.e. the game could think the "weak Master Sword" is a brand new sword with it's own durability and thus it could break or get stuck in a loop of needing to repair should the player manage to abuse the weak Master Sword. It would have basically been too complicated to make a never-breaking Master Sword because one route would potentially undermine other melee weapons and the other route would conflict with the game's established logic. But how does the Master Sword "breaking" work in the game overall?
It at least teaches the player to use everything at their disposal. It is also used to break the ever-long grip of better weapons undermining the use of other items, something that has plagued the Zelda series since day one (i.e. nobody uses the slingshot after they get the bow). Also it symbolizes the possibility of Link relying on the Master Sword too much in the past which eventually lead to his near-demise during the great Calamity. I haven't finished the game so of course I still have questions like "How did Link even get the Master Sword in the first place? Did he not undergo any trials or tribulations to earn the right to wield it? It can't be just because of fate or because of his apparent skill with the sword."
They would have done better to require players to get to the start of the second half of the game and then provide an unbreakable weapon. Same with the Hylian Shield, an unbreakable shield acquired somewhere after 2/3 of the game. There are plenty of other weapons and shields which are stronger or have better special effects. I felt really silly walking around with the Master Sword but wielding a Dragonbone Boko Spear.
@@jlinkous05 I swear I never figured out how to get the hylian shield in botw
@@Maukiki im pretty sure it’s in hyrule castle
OoT LInk: Yes, the master sword!
Master Sword: Sorry, you must be this tall to ride
Botw Link: Yes, the Master Sword!
Master Sword: Sorry, you must be this strong to use
Any game:pulls out easy
BOTW:Sorry you'll need 14 or more hearts to pull this damn thing out
13 not 14
That theme is so so satisfying to hear knowing that your efforts and time are rewarded with a weapon to end your adventure once and for all.
you know you're a hardcore zelda fan when everyone of these cutscenes give you goosebumps
Aw the sweet memories.
To me Breath of the Wild cutscene was the best
well you're gay
Temporary Account for real dude you’re deleting my answers? How pathetic of you
Temporary Account i know when you signal a comment it disappears from your screen, so I guess that’s what happened
Sorry for accusing you without evidence
Brambles all good, you’re right that it woulda been kinda pathetic if I had lol
@@temporaryaccount5698 So just because he has a different opinion than you, he is gay?
you forgot the scene in smash brothers brawl
Daniel Ciufo and hyrule warriors was ?
RapidHex Yes it is in the timeline.
iMax no way imma search
Emrys Wledig Hyrule Warriors isn't canon either apparently but it's still in here
The title is "Evolution of Master Sword Cutscenes in *Zelda Games* (1986-2017)" Emphasis on *Zelda Games*. Hyrule Warriors isn't canon, but it's still a *Zelda Game*. Smash Bros. isn't one.

You forgot Oracle of Seasons linked game, when the Master Sword comes to your aid being found in a Lost Woods of another country.
It's simple, but still counts.
My favorite is TP, and then A link to the Past, then Botw
Great video, Love your channel, but it is from 1991-2017 cx
Xooster Yeah im pretty sure the original zelda didnt have a master sword lol
Xooster yah, Zelda 1 has the "Magical Sword" I'm pretty sure.
Yeah, but it didn't really have a cutscene xD
the "magical sword" and the master sword are two different weapons
I know
Twilight Princess has the best Master Sword cutscene, in my opinion.
WHAT?! THE GREAT DEKU TREE IS BACK IN BREATH OF THE WILD!?!?
Yeah. You didn't know?
Oui
We got an Ocarina player over here!
Dwi Bagus Elrifi he embodies a new tree...
Diego Zavala Xed So you are saying he slapped a face on another tree? (Its a joke..)
A Link to the Past (SNES) and Twilight Princess versions top the others so far for me.
I love the music and the wind coming from the sword in Twilight Princess giving it a more epic feel and I love the delay, the Pendants changing colors and the sounds in the SNES version of A Link to the Past.
Those two are tied in 1st while Breath of the Wild would be 3rd. I do love seeing how the Sword tests you by draining your life to a certain amount.
2>30 wtf what weapon were you holding before the master sword a stick
R O X Λ S probably a torch
@@anonymousfrog1334 Yep, you use a torch to get there through the Lost Woods.
Using the same music throughout is just so awesome.
My favourite was the Twilight Princess one. The wind washing away the clouds like a shockwave. And I preferred the Twilight Princess Link. He looked even more adult and bulky and handsome in that one. I couldn't bear to see the one from Skyward Sword, he was looking like fourteen or such, too young. The one from Breath of the Wild was a bit thin and teenage-looking again when half nude (even if the villagers reactions were funny and priceless).
Adult Link from the remake of Ocarina of Time on 3DS came close to the handsome adult I expected, but yeah... I agree on one point though, Link is DEFINITELY a handsome guy. They created a hottie for a Hero especially with each gaming evolution.
Breath of the Wild was a masterpiece. The graphics were just endlessly breathtaking me.
LOVE that they've mostly kept the same melody ever since ALTTP.
I just realised that zelda is the cross between Peter pan and king arthur
Aaron Sedgwick
Well,ok. :-/
Aaron Sedgwick um, i suppose you could look at it that way...
Well the creator said that he modelling link and the legend of zelda after Peter pan but wonder if he was influenced by King Arthur
P.s making ganondorf a black red head is a bit racist and making link one direction lookalike wannabe is a bit of a bad brainwashing effect on this generation
Aaron Sedgwick well he model link from Peter pan but he model the game design on memories he had as a child exploring caves forests
I love your channel
It's funny how a young link just pulls out the Master Sword like it's almost nothing😂
Then you get to BOTW and you almost die lmao
Twilight princess’ hits different, holy shit I get the chills when that cutscene plays
The master sword was in the first legend of Zelda but it was called some thing different and you needed 13 hearts to get it and that's were that came from in breath of the wild
You mean Magical Sword? Its way different.
Michael the Legendary Super Human. Are you a Zelda fan?
Ernesto III Prias Yeah. Why?
Botw was spossed to be a "zelda 1 remake" of sorts
The magic sword is not the master sword it was just a callback

also, for the BoTW sword.

_don't make me weep over fi again, nintendo, you've done enough damage there_
in breath of the wild you conqeur the master sword tou grab then the game says: you cant carry more melee weapons
Kevin Buist I hate that
Kevin Buist It Added a Slot for me
ohw awesome
you increase the slots by talking to a korok (hestu) in the forest, by giving him korok seeds
tkarlzon *korok seeds
Great video bruh
use the 3ds oot, but not ww hd lol
I am so glad that you added breath of the wild I just got the game I love it
The only non-Canon cutscene just so happened to be the best one. Don't get me wrong, I consider Breath of the Wild to be the best, and Twilight Princess is my favorite, but that Hyrule Warriors cutscene...
This damn melody!! Gawd, everytime I'm close to cry T.T but Twilight Princess...damn no cutscene is able to beat that!
Ehhhh so.....HOW OLD IS THE FRICKING MASTERSWORD?I mean like seriously
Emile Rouichi 7000+. Seriously.
Lilkxdude4101 Way more than that because near the beginning of BOTW it even says that 10,000 years ago another hero (probably named Link used the master sword to seal Ganon away with the help of the princess of Hyrule (probably names Zelda). So I wouldn't be surprised if the Master Sword was actually around 100,000 years old or even more for that matter.
As old as the Super Mushroom...
As old as Skyward Sword is the timeline. XD
Check the latest Zelda time line, add that to 100,100 years.
Everyone wonders why the blade hurts or even kills those who are too weak to hold it but remember that each link who has drawn it is already a hero and is protected by the key items of power that he has claimed beforehand.
Edit: it does make me wonder what happened to the mark of the triforce to this link when he died. Perhaps it lies dormant or it was simply so that we could get the proper experience
THE MOST IRONIC ONE WAS TWILIGHT PRINCESS
TJvsGAMING
Do you mean iconic
1000th comment BTW but honestly always watch this vid for the satisfying sound effect
feels good to get the sword in every game but Breath of the Wild. not only do u not need it but the tree tells u it can brake
It doesn't really break... It's just has to recharge for 10 minutes...
You can, for an example, do the hole fight against Fireblight Ganon with the Master Sword, so even if it breaks, she is good!
Except it CAN'T break: if it runs out of energy, it goes on recharge, and it IS needed: it's the only weapon capable of killing Calamity Ganon.
James Martin you can kill Ganon without it
linck7up it feels extra good to be getting the master sword in breath since your faking grinding shrines to get the thing, and it is holy satisfying when you do get it
those who say in botw they will gain the blade i seriously wish to cut up, even that dude who calls some random torch the master torch
I love rubbing it in their faces when I actually do get the sword
Yea I want to *C U T* them up to
whats next?
evolution of Simon Belmonte's moonwalk?!
i absolutely love how, in botw, nearly every musical callback is just a subtle nod to the older games, and the entire game feels kinda lonely as you traverse a broken hyrule. that is, until you pull the master sword, and link is instantly "linked" directly back to all of his predecessors, holding the same exact sword while the exact same melody plays. it feels like the one moment in the game where all of the forgotten time and heroes of the past are brought back to one moment, and in that moment link truly becomes a hero. to me it just feels like the botw version of this cutscene has so much more thematic significance than nearly any of the others, and its really an incredible moment. also, i just noticed that the master sword theme is a slowed down version of the jingle that plays when you get an important item, just given a LOT more emphasis since its such an important item to the story
So, does the Master Sword break?
Bryce Alexis Well that's good because every damn weapon breaks.
rishka9825 if you use it when it's not needless it will run out of energy and need to recharge
yes it does! after 10min it will return, it is usless outside of boss fights!
it isn't useless outside boss battles
EDIT: it's Very useful both inside and outside boss battles, because when you are near guardians or things controlled by malice (weird black red stuff) , it glows and gains 30 more damage
also, it doesn't break, if it did, you wouldn't have it anymore would you? it loses power then you would have to wait 10 minutes
It can still lose power while powered up (when it starts to glow). It happened to me while I was in Hyrule Castle which keeps the Master Sword powered up at all times while Link is within the area.
Favorite
Master sword theme
2:16
Master sword only do 30 damage? Lol
nyi lever when facing gurdians and dungeon bosses and the final boss it does 60 and glows blue
Ye when fighting against ganon related things it becomes a weapon that does 60 damage
and when you are against a boss, it can't go in "regeneration" mode.
nyi lever 60 damage at full power which is crazy for a light weapon
Cool down? So what? It takes 10 minutes, by the time it finish cooldown I already killed the boss with lynel bow and bomb arrows with royal guards weapons.
The music is so triumphant.
Why do they hold the sword in the air like that? Because of the link from SS?
If you got a sword like that, wouldn't you want to hold it up in the air? I would! It's a magic blade that can pierce evil, I would feel pretty powerful and want to hold it up in the air like that.
Lilkxdude4101 Too bad Ocarina of Time had to be the odd one out.
Still, almost EVERY Link does it, not even knowing that the previous Link did the same thing.... I guess ancestry instinct.
In Hamtaro Ham-Ham Heartbreak, there's a reference to the Master Sword where Hamtaro and Bijou collect three marbles to put into the pedestal, then pull the sword out. (Even though it's called "The Legendary Spoon")
Too bad the master sword sucks balls in botw
But it kills guradians *with relative ease*
Name_taken. the sword can not break Lmao you have to wait 10 minutes if used on non ganon type enemies
Chillz Audio It can still break if you fight it with Dark Enemies, its just more useful as its power becomes 60
But it recharges
No, it already sucks in Oot, u know the big sword is faaaar stronger than it right?
Perfect moments in the tloz, i love all🤧💖❤
too bad the master sword fucking sucks in BOTW
I still die laughing when Midna flies off Wolf Link in the Twilight Princess cutscene
Ohohoh MAN the botw one gave me CHILLS!
Since 1992 A Link to the Past when you hear the same pulling The Master Sword music every time, to me it means you already won.
Pass all three sections of your CDL driving test and see that fresh new CDL minted:
I love how the great deku tree mentions Fi when telling Link to respect the sword. Which brings up the question- is Fi conscious in the sword? Can she see the world around her as she waits in silence trapped in the blade? Knowing the answers and knowing she can help the hero but never having the ability to? Or is it the more disturbing possibility, that every one of the reborn spirits of the hero has had to wield the blade of ages... that carries a dead guardian? Has the weight of the master sword only increased, now that it holds the corpse of the goddess' agent?
I don't think you played botw so lemme just tell you, yes fi is active (at least in this game) because her sound effect is in one of the cutscenes (either after trial of the sword or links defeat I can't remember)
We might never see one of this again.
Ocarina of time has my favorite sword pulling cutscene
Holy crap! The master sword in Twilight Princess is huge!
For special matters I have to say that the master sword in the Legend of Zelda franchise is the most popular, iconic, recurring, strongest and most powerful weapon which is broken.
A link to the past is a good one. The way they make multiple fakes and how you have to navigate a maze just to find the real one .
The wind waker one is good as well and I love how time starts to flow again once link pulls out the sword from the long lost castle/ yenole of hyrulr as ots partly buried beneath the oceans deep waves .
Though to be honest they are all amazing scenes and my favorite part of the franchise is when link gets to pull out the master sword.
Fun fact that you probably already knew: Majora’s Mask is the only game without the master sword
Original, Zelda 2, four swords, links awakening
Master Sword's function:
ALTTP= Fire beam while full health
OOT= Transform Link into Adult
TWW= Unlock Ganon's monsters
TP= Allow Link to transform between Human and Wolf freely
SS= Increase Skyward Strike range and reduce its charge time
ALBW= Fire beam while full health
Hyrule= ???(Never play it)
BOTW= Fire Skyward Strike while full health, Increase damage and gain infinite energy against Demise's force
For me, all the best games have the Master Sword!
Hey Minish cap is good too
